4 That's it! Somerset win by 6 wickets! FOUR RUNS! Full on the pads, Abell picks it up off his toes hitting behind square in the leg side. Deep square attempts to chase but the ball is timed too well, passes the rope.

1 Back of a length on the off stump, swings and gets a thick inside edge out to deep fine leg, single to level the scores.
17.2 N McAndrew to L Gregory
4 FOUR RUNS!! Short delivery on the leg stump, Gregory rolls his wrists and pulls behind square in the leg side. Finds the backward square boundary vacant.

16.2 J Coles to T Abell
1W Full on the middle stump, flicked to the left of deep midwicket. Fielder runs to his left, picks up and returns at the bowling end. ITS A DIRECT HIT AND SEAN DICKSON IS SHORT OF THE CREASE! Terrific work in the outfield, the fielder had to slide to pick up the ball and has done a brilliant work.

0 Flatter on the pads, Abell is hit on the pad going back in the crease.
